Mrs. Kolb's Artistic Stock.

In the centre of the row of small build
ngs on Broughton street, between Bull and
Drayton, is No. 116. the fancy goods store
of Mrs. F. Kolb, lady well known for her
industry and artistic skill. Her excellent
taste and needlework has given her en-
broideries more than a local reputation.
1.-The store is little gem inside, and, turn
whichever way they may, visitors
will find something that pleases the
eye. While the greater portion of
the stock is for the ladies, there is
considerable space devoted TO such goods
that are supposed to beautify and adorn the
sterner sex. Fancy scarfs plaques, artificial
flowers and fruits, crewels mouchoirs, toilet
goods, etc, are TO be found side by side
with military trimmings, society regalias,
badges, stars, etc Then there is an endless
variety of handsome celluloid fancy articles,
and also German "favors," fairy lamps,
etc. But it would take closely printed
column of type 10 give the list of what is
in Mrs. Kolb's store, and those vino are on
the lookout for something nice, servicelble
and at the same time reasonable in price,
should examine her stock for themselves.

THE HUGHENDEN's BLAZE.
The Fire Extinguished-1,7 700 Bales of
Cotton Damaged.


The firemen worked all night on the
steamship Hughenden, and by daylight yes
terday morning the forward compartment
where the fire originated was filled with
water.
The fire broke out a few minutes before
l O'Clock, and for two hours before it was
got under control it burned fiercely and
threatened to communicate to the adjoining
compartments. With the aid of
the tug Forest City, however, the fire.
meu succeeded in combining it to
the compartment where it started. AS soon
as the cotton was thoroughly soaked the
ships pumps were set to work, and were
kept going all night By this morning the
compartment will be free of water The
bulkheads renamed tight, and the
balance Of the cargo, outside of that in the
forward compartment, is in perfect condi-
ton, and will not be discharged
A survey was held on the vessel, the board
consisting of Port Warden Virgins, Capt
Sleeves, of the British steamship Lancaster;
Capt. senn, of the British steamship York
City, accompanied by Maj. j. T. Stewart,
Lloyd's agent, and w. Robertson, ESQ.,,
Vice Consul, and it was recommended that
the cargo in the fore hold be discharged.
The work of discharging will begin this
morning. Seventeen hundred bales are
more or less damaged by smoke and water
The same mystery surrounds the origin of
this fire that has surrounded preceding fires
The ships officers nor the stevedores who
were loading her can give any information
as to how it started. 1t was first discov-
cred by the ships carpenter, who was lying
in his bunk in the fOrecastle, and Who bare
ly had time to arouse the crew and escape
TO the deck without being suffocated. The
entire forward compartment seemed to be
on fire. Whether the fire was caused by
matches in bale or whether by sparks
which dropped from passing steamers upon
the cotton while it lay on the wharf and
smouldered until it burst into flames after
the cotton was loaded into the vessel, are
matters of pure speculation, and the mys-
terry will be solved when those of other fires
that have been far more disastrous are
cleared m

Handed Down From Father to Son fo1
One Hundred and Sixty Years.

While strolling about the exposition
grounds to-day an Erening Journal repre-
sentative visited the magnificent exhibit of
D. A. Altick's Sons, of Lancaster, Pa, manu-
facturers of carriages, buggies, phaetons,
ETC., who, for many years have enjoyed an
enviable national reputation. Their exhibit
is in charge OF Mr.. j. j. Altick, one OF the
most affable and courteous gentlemen upon
the grounds, who has transported it for
distance of / 300 miles, in order to give the
hundreds of thousands in attendance at the
exposition an opportunity OF seeing and eX-
amining samples of the finest road vehicles
made in the United States. The exhibit is
on the second floor of the Main building,
and is as follows:
No. /. A two-seated McCaull pleasure car
riage, Brewster gear, finished in natural
wood, striped in carmine, anG trimmed in
russett leather. The style was first invented
by Col. McCaull, manager and proprietor of
the celebrated opera company OF the same
name.
No. 2. An elliptic spring gear ph@ton,
painted green, striped carmine trimmed in
green broadcloth, with lamps and tenders
No. 3. Top buggy, Brewster spring gear,
painted green, striped carmine, trimmed III
blue broadcloth.
No. t. No top buggy, Dexter spring,
painted black, striped green, green cloth
headlining, russett leather seat trimmings.
No. .. No top buggy, Brewster gear,
painted carmine, striped black, touched up
with gold, trimmed in green leather.
For comfort, style and durability, the
carriages turned out by Altick's Sons, are
absolutely unequaled, and visitors at the
exposition are invited to make close in
spection.
The Southern agency is located in Savan-
nah, Ga, and is in charge of Mr.. H. r.
Altlck, manager They ship goods to every
Southern State in very large quantities, and
are in receipt of scores of letters daily ex-
pressing the complete satisfaction which
they are giving to their patrons.
Each member of the firm of Altick's Sons
is a practical mechanic, having been
thoroughly educated in every branch and
detail of the business, from the ground up.
This, in connection with the energy and in
tegrity which characterize them, accounts
for the immense and well merited success
which they have attained.
1t is a remarkable and interesting fact, in
connection with this celebrated and success
full firm of brothers, that their ancestors
were numbered among the first settlers of
Lancaster in 172S, and they were noted for
their skill as wheelwrights. From that date
to this the family has continued IN the bust
ness, and thus from father to son, it has
been handed for period of one hundred
and sixty years. Their skill and integrity
as mechanics and business men has been the
family pride during all these years, and, in
all probability, will be for many years to
come.
Every visitor at the exposition should by
all means make a friendly call upon D. A.
Altick's Sons. Eeening Journal.

TOO RIGID QUARANTINE.
THE SANITARY BOARD ASKED TO
MODIFY IT'S LAWS.

a Committee from the Board of Trade
Before the Commissioners-The Eff
fects of the Present Quarantine Reg
ulations Discussed - No Definite Ac-
ton Taken.
A Committee from the Board of Trade
terday to discuss the quarantine question
and to urge revision Of the quarantine
regulations. The Committee consisted of
President F. NJ Hull and Messrs. j. d.
Weed, w. B. Stillwell and James Earle,
Jr. The hardships resulting from the en-
forcement of the present laws, and the
effect upon the commerce of the port were
pointed out, and the board was asked to
amend the regulations in such way as to
allow Savannah to compete with other ports.
The Committee pointed out the effect the
laws now in force are having upon the
lumber trade; that il is difficult matter to
obtain charters for Savannah. The ruling
rates on lumber are 25c per thousand higher
here than at Brunswick for all Northern
ports, and the vessel has to cover a much
greater distance
THE LONG DETENTION.
In regard to long detention, the case of
the Ankathor and Pomona, an account of
which appeared in the MORNING NEWS sew
eral days ago, was quoted. Both vessels
arrived at quarantine here within forty
eight hours of each other and from the
same port The Ankathor received orders
on Sept. 81 to proceed to Brunswick. The
Pomona was ordered here, and was moored
to the wharf to discharge ballast on the same
day. On the day the Pomona was released
from quarantine information was received
that the Ankathor had passed through quar-
antine at Brunswick, and had nearly COM
pleted loading.
A letter was read from New Orleans
quoting the regulations in force there. From
June l to Sept. %, vessels from suspected
West Indian and inter tropical American
ports, are detained five days, and from in
fected or suspected ports south of the equa-
tor, three days. From Sept p to Oct. 10
the detention on both of the above classes is
three days, and from Oct. Is to Nov.
| one day. The regulations at New Orleans
were compared with those of Savannah,
and the point was raised as to the necessity
for a longer detention here than at New
Orleans where the commercial interests are
infinitely greater and where all necessary
precaution is taken to guard these interests.
NAVAL STORES AND LUMBER TRADE.
The effect upon the naval stores interests
was alSO SHOWN anu On CHe foreign Iuinoer
trade. Foreign shipping agents are eliminat-
ing Savannah altogether from their charter
lists on account of the rigid quarantine and
high charges. After having presented the
matter fully the committee retired and the
matter was discussed by the members of the
board
The committee seemed to have the impress
sion that the quarantine fees fully exceed
the quarantine expenses To refute this
impression Dr. Duncan presented before the
board the figures. They were as follows.

RIVER AND HARBoR NOTES.
Happenings Among the Shipping and
Along the Wharves.

Along the WnarVeS.
The steamer Katie is ashore at Burton's
Ferry. She has very heavy load of cotton
on board and the water is very low in the
river.
The entire cargo of the British steamship
Naples will have been discharged
by 8 o'clock this morning, when further
survey will be held on the vessel.
The steamer Alice Clark is having some
repairs made to her machinery and hull be-
fore proceeding to Lumber City. She will
probably be delayed week or ten days.
Capt j. B. Fenimore, of Philadelphia, is
in the city. He arrived yesterday and is
here in the interest of the bark Eliza j.
McManemy, which put in to port in distress
on Sunday.
A survey win be called to-day on the bark
Eliza j. McManemy lying at Tybee leaking.
The vessel will very likely ship a double
crew and be towed to Philadelphia, her
destination, where she will be repaired.
A survey was held on the British steam
ship Resoiute yesterday the board consist
ing of Capt. Sleeves, of the British steam
ship Lancaster; Capt. Stranick, Of the
British steamship Warrington, accompanied
by Lloyd's Agent j. T. Stewart, and w:
Robertson, Vice Consul. 1t recommended
that the ship be repaired sufficiently to
carry cargo.

sires to injure them who starts the fires. 1t
then remains that the desire TO create work
Is the motive, and that it is so is not at all
improbable
IN FULL LOADED VESSELS.
1t is strange, to say the least, that fire
hardly ever occurs when a ship begins to
load or is a quarter or half loaded, but al
ways when she has finished or nearly COM
pleted her cargo, and sometimes after she
had cleared. 1t is never down in the hold
that fire starts, but always near the top.
1t is never between decks, but in or around
the matches, and it is therefore concluded
that some one waits until the vessel is loaded
and then starts the fire in order to make
demand for labor in loading and unloading
the vessel, for il accident or spontaneous
combustion caused the fires, certainly they
would sometimes start down in the hold and
IN other parts of the vessel than Just around
the matches.
EFFECT on INSURANCE.
The ship fires affect not only the under
writers, but the whole port, though the
direct loss Is borne by the insurers, for the
frequency of their occurrence has caused
some of the companies to give notice that
unless something Is done TO prevent them
they will be compelled to increase the rates,
and declare Savannah an extra hazardous
port They say that the heavy losses by
fire, combined with the high port charges,
make this port where risks are not desir-
able unless they are taken at a
very high rate, and the companies
are now watching with great
interest to see if prompt and effective action
will be taken. To increase the rates above
those of competing ports, and declare the
port extra hazardous, would be to boycott
Savannah, and it would not be long before
the rapid decrease of business would bring
prominently forward the effect of the care
lessness or criminality which has caused
such disastrous confagrations in the past.

WARM WEATHER COMING.
The Cool Wave Spends It's Force-A
Cyclone in the Gulf.

The Cool Wave Spends Its Force--A
Cyclone in the Gulf
The 10 O'Clock reports of the signal SER
vice last night show the area of high pres
sure, which was moving across the country,
to have entirely disappeared and given
place to a decided low area. A storm is
central over the upper lake region, which
will move eastward over the st Lawrence
valley. A telegram received from the Chief
Signal Officer last night stated that a
cyclone was central in the Gulf, south
of Key West, with strong north
east gales The movement of this
cyclone is at present unknown
owing to its distance from land, but it will
probably be known by noon to-day. The
cool wave will pass off gradually after to-
day. The lowest temperature will be
reached early this morning Last nights
reports, with the exception of Florida,
show the temperature over the entire coun.
try to be between So and So. The indica-
tionS for to-day are for warmer fair weather

FOGARTY IN JAIL.
His Bondsmen Hand Him over to the
Authorities.

His Bondsmen Hand Him over to the
Authorities.
Tom Fogarty was surrendered by his
bondsmen yesterday, and Sheriff Roman
locked him up in the county Jail. There
were four names on his bond, which was
for $4,000, and in consequence of Fogarty's
assault on Policeman Thorpe, two of his
sponsors asked to be released from the bond,
and thereby released the other two, making
the bond void and necessitating the incar-
ceration of Fogarty, who is under sentence
of ten years in the penitentiary, and await
ing the action of the Supreme Court in his
case.
Fogarty was taken before Acting Mayor
Schwarz yesterday morning and tried on
the charges preferred against him ON the
previous night. The charge of carrying
concealed weapons was not proved TO the
satisfaction of the Mayor, so it was dis
missed, but the other charges were sustained,
and Fogarty's sentence was fine of $50 or
thirty days in Jail

The city entertains the idea that the cost
of quarantine should be borne by the YES
sells, and according TO the above figures,
which were taken from the TreaSurer's
books, they have not done SO entirely
The city admits that the wharf at quar-
antine is not as commodious as it should be,
and that often several days elapse before a
vessel has a chance to discharge her ballast.
This, Of course, causes unnecessary
delay. Dr. Duncan said to the com
mittee, however, that the government was
responsible for the shoialng at the quaran-
tine wharf, as its work ON the river had
caused it. He advised the committee to
take such steps as are necessary to induce
the government to repair the damage it has
done. The board took no definite action on
the requests of the committee. Before it
adjourned it granted the Austrian bark
Augusta permission to come to the city.

DANGER IN THE FLAT CAR.

Cotton is hauled on open fiat cars behind
engines that burn both wood and coal, and
as the smoke and sparks stream back over
the train there is every danger of spark
falling on the bales. The Central railroad
burns hard coal in the yard engines, and
soft coal or woodworking engines are not
permitted to go In there.
Unless the fires start from some of the
causes enumerated or are the result of spon-
taneous combustion, that theory so CON
venient when all other explanations fail,
then they are the result of incendiarism.
